Service-centric approach pushed to combat cyber threats

Financial institutions were also recommended to move beyond scripted IT disaster recovery exercises.

Financial institutions must adopt a service-centric approach to strengthen operational resilience by maximising an end-to-end approach to increase cyber threat resiliency, according to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

FIs were also recommended to move beyond scripted IT disaster recovery exercises by incorporating unscripted elements into their regular disaster recovery drills.

The agency also emphasised the need for FIs to understand how specific risks may arise from their IT vendors and use of open-source software.

This includes maintaining a comprehensive inventory of IT components used within FIs, and mapping their third-party dependencies.

Further, MAS cautioned about the materialising security threats posed by quantum computers, and recommended that FIs inventorise cryptographic solutions across their operations.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
